BACKGROUND Technical Field

The present invention relates to compounds for organic electric elements, organic electric elements using the same, and electronic devices thereof.

Background Art

In general, an organic light emitting phenomenon refers to a phenomenon in which electric energy is converted into light energy of an organic material. An organic electric element utilizing the organic light emitting phenomenon usually has a structure including an anode, a cathode, and an organic material layer interposed therebetween. In many cases, the organic material layer may have a multilayered structure including multiple layers made of different materials in order to improve the efficiency and stability of an organic electric element, and for example, may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, or the like.

A material used as an organic material layer in an organic electric element may be classified into a light emitting material and a charge transport material, for example, a hole injection material, a hole transport material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, and the like according to its function. Further, the light emitting material may be divided into a high molecular weight type and a low molecular weight type according to its molecular weight, and may also be divided into a fluorescent material derived from electronic excited singlet states and a phosphorescent material derived from electronic excited triplet states according to its light emitting mechanism. Further, the light emitting material may be divided into blue, green, and red light emitting materials, and yellow and orange light emitting materials required for better natural color reproduction according to its light emitting color.

Meanwhile, when only one material is used as a light emitting material, there occur problems of shift of a maximum luminescence wavelength to a longer wavelength due to intermolecular interactions and lowering of the efficiency of a corresponding element due to a deterioration in color purity or a reduction in luminous efficiency. On account of this, a host/dopant system may be used as the light emitting material in order to enhance the color purity and increase the luminous efficiency through energy transfer. This is based on the principle that if a small amount of dopant having a smaller energy band gap than a host forming a light emitting layer is mixed in the light emitting layer, then excitons generated in the light emitting layer are transported to the dopant, thus emitting light with high efficiency. With regard to this, since the wavelength of the host is shifted to the wavelength band of the dopant, light having a desired wavelength can be obtained according the type of the dopant.

Currently, the power consumption is required more than more as size of display becomes larger and larger in the portable display market. Therefore, e power consumption is a very important factor the portable display with a limited power source of the battery, and efficiency and life span issue also is solved.

Efficiency, life span, driving voltage, and the like are correlated with each other. For example, if efficiency is increased, then driving voltage is relatively lowered, and the crystallization of an organic material due to Joule heating generated during operation is reduced as driving voltage is lowered, as a result of which life span shows a tendency to increase. However, efficiency cannot be maximized only by simply improving the organic material layer. This is because long life span and high efficiency can be simultaneously achieved when an optimal combination of energy levels and T1 values, inherent material properties (mobility, interfacial properties, etc.), and the like among the respective layers included in the organic material layer is given.

Therefore it is required to develop a light emitting material that has high thermal stability and can achieve efficiently charge balance the light-emitting layer. In order to allow an organic electric element to fully exhibit the above-mentioned excellent features, it should be prerequisite to support a material constituting an organic material layer in the element, for example, a hole injection material, a hole transport material, a light emitting material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, or the like, by a stable and efficient material.

However, such a stable and efficient organic material layer material for an organic electric element has not yet been fully developed. Particularly, the developments of host materials for a light emitting layer, and the combination between the host materials and appropriate dopant materials, are required highly.

SUMMARY

As shown in Table 4 above, in the cases where the materials of the present invention were used as a phosphorescent host for the OLEDs, a reduced driving voltage with a significantly improved luminous efficiency and a lifespan was obtained.

Specifically, the OLEDs using the compounds of the present invention, or Comparative Compounds B and C having the same core with the present invention, as a phosphorescent host material, found to have a significantly reduced driving voltage with a significantly improved luminous efficiency and lifespan, compared to those using Comparative Compound A, a conventionally used phosphorescent host material.

In addition, from the comparison of Examples of the present invention and Comparative Examples 2 and 3, it was shown that even with the same core the element properties varies depending on the substituent bonded to the N atom of the core. That is, the compounds of the present invention substituted with benzoquinazoline or dibenzoquinazoline had a significantly improved luminous efficiency, compared to Comparative Compound B substituted with quinazoline and Comparative Compound C substituted with benzotienopyrimidine.

Without being bound by any particular theory of operation, it is believed that the compounds substituted with benzoquinazoline or dibenzoquinazoline changes the energy level of the compounds, and as the result, the energy balance are improved and the luminous efficiency are improved in the light emitting layer.

Accordingly, it was shown that even with the same core, the chemical properties of the compounds like the energy level and the element properties of the compounds like the packing density depend on the substituent bonded to the core, and the OLED properties depend on the chemical properties and the element properties.
